Desconocido... sabor... cada vez... más cerca
Desconocido... sabor... me lleva... más alto

Estoy aquí, otra pista de baile
Estás allí, te he visto antes
¿Cómo te llamas?¿Te lo pregunté antes?
Está bien, vamos a bailar juntos.

Desconocido... sabor... cada vez... más cerca
Desconocido... sabor... me lleva... más alto
Desconocido... sabor... cada vez... más cerca
Desconocido... sabor... me abraza... más fuerte

Tómate un descanso, te veré luego
Un baile más, lo haremos mejor
Habla otra vez, no puedo oírte susurrar
¿La siguiente noche fuera? nadie tiene que responder

Desconocido... sabor... cada vez... más cerca
Desconocido... sabor... me lleva... más alto
Desconocido... sabor... cada vez... más cerca
Desconocido... sabor... me abraza... más fuerte

Desconocido. sabor Desconocido... sabor... cada vez... más cerca
Desconocido... sabor... me lleva... más alto
Desconocido... sabor... cada vez... más cerca
Desconocido... sabor... me abraza... más fuerte

Desconocido. sabor
